Are you and your sharing an Apple ID? If so, this is normal behavior and cannot be changed. Apple IDs are not meant to be shared. If not then *** your iPhone, tap on:

Watch > My Watch > General > About > Name

and change the name there. Also on your iPhone, tap on:

Settings > [Your Name] > Name. Phone Numbers, Email

and change your name under NAME.
